So i want to start close corners in the rigging and fixing the threads of the sprit sails.
The instructions show multiple rigging lines running to the same samson post.
so i'm trying to think what to do leave it as is and do as instructions says or try to rearrange the threads.
I'lk behappy to hear any insight about this.
the instructions:

Thank you
 
I am building Cala Esmeralda and to be honest I am not looking forward to doing the rigging at all. What I see in your photos is unbelievably great.
Rigging is fun if the plans wasn't so badly planned.
I think even the desiner was little bit confused when he did those plan.
